    Elijah P. Lovejoy

    GrumpyRN replied to Davey Do's topic in Ars Gratia Artis's Artis

    Sitting here thinking... I know that name "Lovejoy", could not place it at all. Did a quick Google and of course came up with "The Simpsons". There was a TV programme in the 1980's/90's called...

    Paperclip Cartoons

    GrumpyRN replied to Davey Do's topic in Ars Gratia Artis's Artis

    I think they were some obscure band that was around when I was younger. I believe they visited my city in 1963 and 1964. Wonder what became of them? 🤣🤣😂😂 Just had a thought......

    Paperclip Cartoons

    GrumpyRN replied to Davey Do's topic in Ars Gratia Artis's Artis

    My apologies if I came over as being rude, that was not my intent. I was trying (in my poor way) to be a bit funny and putting in a bit of silliness. I have some slight understanding of the...

    If you could go back, start-over, change majors, what would you do and why?

    GrumpyRN replied to AlpacaTraveLlamaDNP's topic in Nursing Humor

    I've been retired for 7 years and I still have not grown up.😂🤣🤣😂 Originally I went into nursing because I needed a job and I had seen male nurses around (very rare in the early...

    Idea for a Medical Drama

    GrumpyRN replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in Ars Gratia Artis's Artis

    Could visualise this as a film sideshowstarlet. With as you say a bit of a cliff-hanger at the end. Then a series could be made. Love the enema image. (The visual one from Davey and the...

    GrumpyRN replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for that. I have never seen these. Doesn't mean they weren't used, just that I have never seen them - but then I did not work in general surgery. A quick internet search says that...

    Should I talk to my manager?

    GrumpyRN replied to Sweetpea04's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely NOT! You tried something new and it has not worked out as you hoped - fine, now you know. Find something new or yes, go back to where you were. Neither option makes you a loser or a...
